This is typical.

With condolences to DRI, Seattle Computing, Stac Electronics, Peter Norton, SCO, Sun, Banyan, Giant Software Company, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseam:

1- Small Company manages to develop useful, innovative software despite the 400-pound gorilla holding the source for the undocumented, bug-infested OS.
2- Customers adore the product publicly.
3- M$ egos can’t stand the limelight on anyone else, so they lavish cash on Small Company until Small Company’s investors demand the deal be concluded.
4- M$ absorbs Small Company, creative people are all fired, product source handed to the 400-pound gorilla for “safekeeping” (available only to M$ and anonymous 3rd-world burglars).
5- M$ coders, barely able to keep their pee stream in the little cups, rewrite the entire app to run in Internet Explorer (when your only tool is a hammer…), which violates every security Standard on the planet.
6- Any feature which gives User control over M$ “internals” is deleted with extreme prejudice.
7- Every 3rd line in the “new” code is a bug.
8- Pencil and paper sales soar. :^(
9- The world waits for another innovator who can forget the drubbing Small Company just took to come along with another attempt at “innovation”…

And the wheel goes around again…

But seriously, is there a Visio Viewer we can actually USE???

A Visio drawing may not open in Visio Viewer 2007, and you may receive an error message in Internet Explorer

I’m hating Microsoft. They don’t have any instructions on how to modify the security settings for ActiveX controls if this is what is causing the problem, either.

Thanks for the post, anyway.
